(Verse 1)
If my mind
Is a pile of knives
Self love
Will cut me up
It’ll fuck me up
But if I
Try to fix myself
Alone
I swear/think I’ll
Come undone
I swear I’ll come undone
(Verse 2)
I drag my
Memory in a box
Along my timeline
And it wreaks havoc
All the time
Havoc all the time!
Lives past
Weigh on me
Like moons drag seas
A black body
Cannot be free
Conceive of peace
Beyond whiteness see
My father’s father’s father’s
Father’s father’s father’s…
(Bridge)
Farthest from me
Even in my dreams
We don’t share the same language
I wanna know his peace
If it sears like light beams
Bridges the days
I’d take death like cream
I’m all of your prayers
If it greets me
Knows me by…
Name
(Instrumental Break)
Havoc all the
Havoc all the
Havoc all the time
Havoc all the
Havoc all the
Havoc all the time
Havoc all the time
Havoc all the time
Havoc all the
Havoc all the
Ahh!

Mitsubishi invokes otherworldly stages for the procession of Chivengi's ache-filled singing. It's a primordial kind of R&B with futurist haptics. I love "AGONY" and "For You." Lamb
Ojerime recalls all of R&B's gravity-defying moments: the car bounce of SWV's "Release Some Tension;" the hazy slow-groove of "One in a Million." Like the best of R&B, 'B4IB' is music you wanna *be.* Lamb
Philly’s Lee Clarke offers a trio of songs that gently sway, with soft keys and drums spiraling around curlicues of guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable May 25, 2020
